Red Bull Racing unveiled its much-anticipated RB17 hypercar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday, signaling the end of an era for legendary designer Adrian Newey. Team principal Christian Horner touted the vehicle as a distillation of Newey's best design concepts.

Limited to just fifty units, this track-exclusive hypercar has already been sold out, despite its eye-watering £6 million price tag. With a top speed exceeding 350kph, the RB17 draws from Red Bull's illustrious history in Formula One, including their six constructors' championships and seven drivers' titles, the most recent of which have come with Max Verstappen at the wheel.

Newey, 65, remains tight-lipped about his future but emphasized that the RB17 encapsulates everything Red Bull has learned over the years. Weighing less than 900kg and powered by a V10 Cosworth engine coupled with a 200hp electric motor, the RB17 is touted to outperform even a Formula One car on certain tracks.
